Summary
“There,” he says, and it is maddening having her behind him, unable to see his face. His voice reveals so little. “You must try to wiggle out of the dress and the petticoat whilst I remove your stays.”
“My - my stays?” she squeaks. “Surely there is no need - ”
He lays a hand upon her shoulder, and it is so hot through the gauzy cotton of her chemise. She wonders if he is not feverish too. “They are soaked through, and it is not good to have the dampness so close to your lungs. Better to have them off.”
She supposes she should argue, but she knows that it matters not if she is in her stays or her chemise or completely bare, at this point. If anyone ever found out about this, her reputation would be ruined either way.
After begging Colin for a kiss, Penelope finds herself trapped with him during a snowstorm on the way to Aubrey Hall. THERE'S ONLY ONE BED PEOPLE

Summary
“You earnestly believe you can trick me into loving you in three months? Mr. Bridgerton, this shall be the easiest-won wager any woman has ever known.”
Colin chuckles. “I believe,” he says, “I can do it in one. The latter two shall be enjoyed as our honeymoon.”
Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton haven’t properly seen each other in years.
Now, they find themselves maneuvered into an arranged marriage neither of them wants.
Penelope, sharp-tongued and self-possessed, has no intention of being anyone’s consolation prize. Colin, newly returned from the continent and having already insulted his bride, did not comprehend quite the little spitfire he'd been given.
And so, a wager is struck: Three months to earn her regard, or surrender the match.

Summary
The image of Colin so badly wounded is horrifying, and Penelope hears herself letting out a choked gasp when she finally manages to take a breath.
“Pen, hello,” Colin says from the chair near the entrance where his men have seated him, smiling through his pain. The kindness in his tone, despite how badly hurt he is, makes tears immediately spring to Penelope’s eyes. “I am fine,” he repeats, reaching with his good hand towards her.
It is not the first time Colin Bridgerton falls off a horse, but this time it is infinitely worse. His injuries not only put an early end to his travels, they also prevent him from doing barely anything. Colin is fortunate to spend his recovery at Aubrey Hall surrounded by his family and Penelope during the off-season, but soon, he gets tired of his boring reality. He is happy enough to spend time with his dear friend and family, but his brain is restless, and with that restlessness comes a memory: what was it that Penelope wanted to tell him right before he departed for his travels?

Summary
“Penelope,” he murmured, “there is nothing—nothing—that could ever make me hate you.”
Her resolve wavered. For a moment, she wanted to believe him. Wanted to pretend. But she knew better.
Her breath hitched as she gently pulled away, shaking her head. “But there is, Colin. There is.” She forced herself to take a step back, then another, ignoring the way her body screamed to stay. “And it would destroy me to see that look in your eyes.”
~*~*~*~*~*~
Penelope rejects Colin's marriage proposal after their carriage ride, leaving him heartbroken and confused.
The truth comes to light in a shocking turn of events when Penelope is attacked at Kate's first ball as Viscountess. In the chaos, Eloise is forced to reveal Penelope’s secret: she is Lady Whistledown. Colin is stunned to realize that the woman he loves and the columnist he despises are one and the same.
And he cannot lose her.
With Penelope battling infection and the mystery of her attack unfolding, Colin is determined to keep her safe—despite a bounty placed on her head by the Queen. Which would be less of a challenge, if only she would just listen to him...

Summary
She made a little humming noise. “I am afraid, Sir Knight, that this is one danger you cannot wave your sword at. There is no escaping my marriage.”
“Oh. That. Marriage is no danger.”
She gave him a look of such sharpness that he felt himself wither. “You are a man. You do not have the first idea of the dangers marriage entails for women.” Her chin trembled though she held it aloft. “And you are a Knight Protector — you are not permitted to marry until after I am wed.”
He opened his mouth to retort — but closed it quickly. She was, he supposed, right. In fact he could not imagine someone less suited to offer counsel on the subject than himself.
“What is it that you fear?” he asked.
She took a deep breath. “Cruelty. Neglect. Loneliness. A life spent in solitude and uselessness, my mind slowly disintegrating through lack of exertion. There is so much world out here, Colin, and I shall only ever see one tiny patch of it. I fear dying after a life only half-lived. I have dreams and ambitions and they shall never, ever be realised. So while I am able, I mean to live.”
OR: the Adventures of Princess Penelope and Sir Colin, her Knight Protector!

Summary
Scanning the room in search for the nearest exit, the smell of bergamot and leather hit her nose, stopping her instantaneously. She knew that smell. It could only belong to one alpha.
Rooted, not daring to move, her breath became shallow and rapid. Her heartbeat in tune with the bass thumping in the background. She could feel that set of denim blue eyes staring.
A soft growl tickled the shell of her hair. “Omega. You should not be here.”

Summary
After spending a year abroad, Colin Bridgerton returned during summer break and joined his family at Aubrey Hall. Whilst away, Colin realized his heart belonged to his best friend, Penelope Featherington through the many letters they exchanged during his travels. His grand plans to romance her and win her affections was going better than he could have ever imagined; that was until a summer soiree hosted by his brother brought an unwelcomed guest who threatened his family and any future happiness he had hoped for.
“What has happened?” Anthony pressed.
“I did what I had to,” it was all Colin could think to say. Anthony took Colin’s hands in his, turning them over noting the wounds spackled across his knuckles and smatters of blood that covered his skin and clothes.
“Who?” His eyes were wide and intense. It was his protective nature; Colin knew his brother would do anything for his family. He could see Anthony was already anticipating his response without even knowing the occurrence.
“Lord Anderson,” Colin breathed out, rage returning to his voice, “he had Pen…he was hurting her, I had to stop him.”
“Where?” Anthony demanded.
“The conservatory.”
“Take me,” he said sternly.
